In Oncourse, how do I determine my site's siteID?

The siteID for your course, portfolio, or project site is the string of numbers and letters appearing immediately after site/ in the site's URL.

For example, consider the following URL:

In the above example, the siteID is SU06-BL-CHEM-C360-6497. Note that for course sites and practice course sites, the semester, campus, academic department, course number, and section number are part of the siteID. SiteIDs for project and portfolio sites are random, automatically created strings of characters. For example:

In the example above, the siteID is c9de476e-8c3f-42c7-8006-83274397fbbf.

Additionally, site leaders can find the siteID in the Resources tool. In your site's menubar, click Resources, and then click Manage/Download Multiple Resources to view the siteID.

Setting an alias for the siteID

You can set an easy-to-remember alias for the siteID of any site you own:

1. In your site's menubar, click Site Setup.
   
   
2. Click Edit Site Information.
   
   
3. Next to "Site URL Alias", you'll see the part of the site URL common to all sites, followed by a text box. Enter the text you'd like to use in place of your siteID in the text box.
   
   
4. At the bottom of the page, click Continue.
   
   
5. Review your changes, and then click Finish.
